Hotels were just too pricey last weekend (given that the first tuition payment is only 8 weeks away) so I googled "bed & breakfast Boston" and I found an agency with lots of places near BoCo. We stayed in a lovely condo just across the Fens for $115 a night...it was a good way to check out how busy/safe the area is at night and on weekends.

Thank you for the tip. Do your remember the name of the agency? I need to start planning for when I go with my D when she starts school in August.

Here's the website: http://bnbboston.com/index.html . If you call and tell them you're visiting BoCo, they will find you a place nearby.

Thanks Skwidjymom- maybe we'll see you there!

If you need more space and you are driving, I can recommend the Marriott Courtyard in south Boston (Dorchester). It was brand new, reasonably priced, an easy drive to BoCo, roomy, and had free parking. There is a big shopping center close by with a Target, Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, and an Old Navy, too. Don't eat breakfast in the hotel...there's a diner right there that was really good.

Thank you! We'll be flying in but if we rent a car that may be an option.
